the word cut out is not really clear. (no language is in this regard)
if it cuts out does it self correct with a fast right foot? pressed.
if the cut out lasts , does it, does the engine die and car starts coasting, ? does it? is the transmissing a 5 speed stick
if yes, you can leave it say in 4th gear at 45mph and the cars slowing slows the engine down in gear, and if you wiggle the ignition key does the engine wake up.
with the automatic you can do that, like we can due to the front transmissing oil pump is dead on a stalled engine. so diagnosis is harder.
the CUT out must can be found but is harder on COP coil engines.
the j18 has 4 cop coils and 97 had no fire wall ignitor to fail.
what is very hard is scoping the coil Highvoltage leads.
this J18 and J20 all love to fill the spark wells full of oil, no serviced valve cover gasket and the 4 spark well seals. and floods in oil and misfires.
It is very hard to test HV spark with out making or buying COP extension device, that makes it tall and can now use ignition thing light or inductive scope probe to see spark live.
if it can be made to cut out parked this makes things very easy.
does it>?
